Not all alpha participants criticized Pax Dei as harshly as the MeinMMO editorial team. One of the biggest and most well-known Twitch streamers and Youtubers on the topic of games proudly shows his viewers the impressive castle that his clan built in just three days, praising the game for its powerful building system.
Which streamer is involved? Asmongold aka ZackRawrr aka Zack Hoyt has become one of the largest streamers and Youtubers in the gaming sphere over the past 15 years. The MMORPG genre in particular has captivated the American.
In the first years, the videos and streams often revolved around World of Warcraft and Blizzard, but recently, Asmongold has also engaged with other genre representatives such as Final Fantasy XIV, Lost Ark, and New World.
Over time, Asmongold has earned a reputation for being very critical of the MMORPG genre and its individual titles, specifically highlighting each weakness of WoW and others.
A highlight of Pax Dei – the graphics from Unreal Engine 5:
How does Asmongold rate the new MMORPG Pax Dei? Already in the alpha held a few months ago, the streamer was unusually enthusiastic. His conclusion: The game is better than expected, and he will definitely play the online role-playing game at launch (via Youtube).
In his latest video from the current alpha phase, Asmongold goes even further. For him, Pax Dei clearly has “the best building system of an MMO sandbox.” As evidence for this thesis, the enthusiastic streamer proudly shows the impressive castle that his clan Olympus has created from scratch in just three days.
The stone fortress hugs a massive mountain and consists of a variety of levels, battlements, and towers. Some viewers enthusiastically compare it to the city of Minas Tirith from “The Lord of the Rings.” Asmongold’s comment: “Give us two weeks instead of three days, and we’ll build you Minas Tirith.”
Here you can see the impressive castle of Olympus:
When night falls in the game world and the castle is illuminated by the light of countless torches and fires, the streamer beams with delight: “This is the vibe I want to experience in an MMO. I just love this here.”
For the launch, Asmongold plans to expand his clan to more than 10,000 players, who will then build an even larger fortress in the world of Pax Dei.
What did MeinMMO criticize about the alpha of Pax Dei? The MMORPG from the Finnish studio Mainframe plays in the first hours like a survival game without survival mechanics, focusing entirely on gathering, unlocking recipes, and building.
You will only experience an MMO gaming experience if you team up with other players and engage in building projects together or brave the contested PvP zones or the various dungeons of the game world.
Given the strong competition in the survival and MMORPG sectors, the developers will need to add more content before the final release of Pax Dei to justify the purchase price and mandatory subscription – at least this is our initial assessment.
